Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) - (AH26)

This antibody is specific to Synacthen (aa1-24 of ACTH); does not react with CLIP (aa17-39 of ACTH). POMC (peo-opiomelanocortin or corticotropinlipotropin) is a 267 amino acid polypeptide hormone precursor that goes through extensive, tissue-specific posttranslational processing by convertases. This antibody stains corticotrophs in the adenohypophysis and is useful in the classification of pituitary adenomas.
